The ballad was used as the theme song of the movie Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru. The title of the movie was originally Heavenly Forest, but was changed to a phrase from the song's lyrics after the director listened to the song.
The b-side, "Hanikami Jane", an upbeat song, was used in a television commercial for Look: a la mode chocolate. The third track is a live version of "Haneari Tamago", a song originally on Otsuka's 3rd album Love Cook.
The single debuted at number 2 during its first week, selling 77,570 copies and making it Otsuka's highest debut sales of the year.
